For Australia, it has been the bowlers that have let them down, they have gone for plenty of runs. Considering it is the last ODI, the hosts who are comfortably placed may look to experiment in Manchester.

The feeling is that England are already preparing for the India series and then the ICC World Cup, which is due next year and would be played in England. That would make the hosts favourites.

Fun fact: England has never won a ODI bilateral series 5-0 since 2001. They had whitewashed Zimbabwe then. Can they do it today?
